the get-down
inside the Love Street studio
Love Street Pictures is a portrait studio with a point of view.
It’s music humming through the room, nerves softening, shoulders dropping. A little irreverent. A little electric. Built around intention, yes, but never stiff about it.
The work is driven by a love of nostalgia.
Not the polished myth, but the atmosphere it creates. The records, the imagery. The moments that refuse to age out.
Love Street draws from a classic editorial era, then opens the frame wider — holding many different stories with the same atmosphere and care.
This isn’t about recreating the past.
It’s about reclaiming it.
Your session begins in the Tipsy Fox.
A lounge, a dressing room, a threshold. Records on the turntable. Vintage magazines scattered about. A drink if you want one. Time to land, laugh, shake it out, and remember that this is supposed to feel good.
From there, the energy builds naturally.
Guided, but loose. Directed, but never rigid.
Somewhere between the music and the laughter, something shifts. People stand a little taller. Take up more space. See themselves differently than they did walking in.
That’s the magic here.
Not perfection. Not performance.
Connection. Confidence. The kind that sneaks up on you and sticks around.
This is nostalgia, edited.

Marcia Beck
Love Street Pictures is shaped by Marcia Beck, a creative director and photographer with a long history of helping people feel at ease in their own skin.
Her background in hairdressing, education, and visual storytelling informs everything that happens here. Not as résumé material, but as lived experience. Years of reading people, setting tone, and knowing when to push and when to step back.
Marcia’s role isn’t to perform behind the camera.
It’s to hold the room.
She pays attention to energy. To posture and pacing. To the moment when someone stops trying and starts being. That’s where the work opens up.
Her approach is intuitive, editorial, and grounded in connection. A little irreverent. Deeply intentional. Less about perfection, more about presence.
She builds the environment, sets the rhythm, and lets the rest unfold naturally.
Because when people feel comfortable, something honest tends to show up.
And that’s always been the point.
“Hands down would do this again and recommend it to anyone. This whole experience has left me feeling confident, beautiful, and empowered” — Leslie N.
